Bolster (aka Guling Halus)

At what age did you get it? 

1-2 years old i think

How did you get the object? 

It was my sleeping pillow since i was a baby

Does this object have a historical significance in your life?

"It’s just always been with me since I can remember I even brought it with me when I moved to Amsterdam when I was 2 years and brought it back to Jakarta when we moved back (i was 5) and i’ve just had it since.


It’s been patches up because the insides started ripping and I had to change the cover because it was getting super thin so I changed it (i think i was in 5th grade when i decided to change the cover) but I kept the original cover inside a special box"

How old are you now? 

24
